I have a new blog!

Hi, Ive taken the plunge and upgraded to a new blog, which will allow me to upload much larger photographs!! Oh, and it looks prettier too! Im still having a few teething problems (ie - cant copy this old blog over to new blog), but hopefully that will all be worked out soon enough.

The new blog address is: http://tigerlilyphotography.com.au/blog/ - please add this new blog to your RSS, and leave your comments here.

Thanks, have a great day!!

Lisa, Mick & baby Sophie

Last weekend, one of my closest friends, Lisa, came over to our house for a quick photoshoot, as she wanted '1 or 2' photos of her and her husband Mick and their 8 month old princess, Sophie, to give to the 'fathers' in her life for Fathers day - her dad Rob, Micks dad John and maybe even a surprise photo for for Mick!

Well, Lisa, here are your '1 or 2' photos - they're all so gorgeous, I couldn't decide on just a few!

How adorable is Sophie!!! Lisa told me yesterday that she has cut her first tooth - what a shame we couldn't see it on Saturday, that would have made a cute photo!

You might remember Sophie from her 1st photoshoot - hasn't she changed!!

Lisa, I hope you and Mick and the 2 dads will be happy with these photos!

Christmas Photos

I know, its probably too early to think about Christmas Family Portraits, however my last shoot for the year will be late November, so I have time to edit and deliver all of the photos to you, for your Christmas gifts (I probably also be too big to do anything other than sit at my computer, come December!).

Apart from the normal portrait sessions (info on my website), this year I will be offering a Christmas Mini-session, which will take around 30 minutes, and you'll be provided with your choice of 10 high-res photo (from approx. 30 photos), plus a 6 x 4 Christmas Card file (choice of 10 card templates, edited with your details).

I'll be holding these mini-sessions in the Hills District of Sydney, on:

9am - 11.30am on Saturday 25th October & 2pm - 4.30pm on Saturday 1st November. If these days don't suit, please e-mail me for other dates / times, as I may add more sessions.

The cost of this mini session is $100 (inc GST), for the 10 photos + Christmas Card file. Additional images can be purchased for $20 each, or $250 for all of the edited photographs from the session.

An example of one of the Christmas Cards files is as follows:

I will still be offering my normal portrait sitting until the end of November, with guaranteed delivery of all images well before Christmas.

To book any of the above sessions, please e-mail lauren@tigerlilyphotography.com.au.

Is it too early to say Merry Christmas?!? HA!

Baby Jett

I must admit, I was a little nervous when Elecia e-mailed me to enquiry about photography for her 9 week old little boy.... what do 9 week old babies do?? They are more awake and alert than newborns, and are still fairly 'floppy', cant really hold their head up, etc. Elecia told me that Jett was a happy baby, normally really smiley and happy to please - to be honest I was wondering if this was just a typical proud 'mum' talking about her new bub, or was she telling the truth....

And then this little fella greeted me:

She was telling the truth! How absolutely adorable is little Jett! I could have just picked him up and driven away with him! Here are a few more photos from our shoot last weekend:

Kerwin & Jett

Elecia & Jett

Look at those toes!

Ok, so he did have a bit of a cry right at the very end of the shoot, but we did have about 3 hours of smiley, happy Jett!

Thank you Elecia & Kerwin for allowing me to come into your home to photograph your beautiful baby boy. Im sure I will be seeing you all again - you never know, if I have a baby girl, we may end up being in-laws! :)

Exciting News!!!

No, I don't know if I'm having a boy or girl yet (Doh!), but more exciting news... one of my closest friends in the world got engaged last night! Yea!!!! On ya, Shell-Bell! No plans have been made of course, but if I know Shell, it will be a beach wedding, or maybe a Hunter wedding? I know - how about Hamilton Island, Shell?!?!? One thing is for sure, I'm your wedding photographer. I'm so excited!!

Here is a photo of me & Shell taken on her 30th birthday weekend in Port Macquarie. This is the exact spot where Scott wanted to propose last night, but it was too cold for dear old Shell-Bell.. he he.

Love you all the world Shell, and Stu & I, Pepa & Chewy, and even little Daph, are so happy for you!

Finally.... photos from our trip to the snow!

These are the snow photos you’ve all been waiting for (yeah! I hear you scream!!). Here goes….

Me & Stu-baby

Trissana – the Lodge where we stayed. I was told that I was rather spoilt staying here my first time..... It was just beautiful. Had about 6 or 7 bedrooms, a bunch of bathrooms / toilets, a large kitchen, and meals / family area and a roaring open fire, much better heating than we have! I was warmer at 4am going to the loo, than I am at my house!

Just a cool tree - it freaks me out that it can be so bloody cold outside, with everything covered in snow, and a beautiful tree like this thrives!

The boys, from the left: Brett, Aaron, Micky, Stu & Ron. Don't they look tough?!


Down the mountain they go! I actually stood here secretly hoping for a stack or two - didn't happen :(

Jay-Man, one of the coolest 3 year-olds I know (My nephew Kye being the other). This kid ROCKS, and now is used to Auntie Lauren and her 'big camera' (that he learnt to use - looks like I have a new assistant!)

Stu & Jay

Jay learnt to ski at the 'Milo School'

Leader of the pack!

3 crazy people I decided to photograph, oh hang on, its the people that we stayed with! And im married to the hot one in the blue beanie!

Karen & I went on a chairlift - right to the top (no, we didn't get off, too cold and it was snowing!)

CRASH!

Perisher

Karen & Jay - and yes, that is snow falling in the photo!


Believe it or not, that is only the first day of photos....! More photos to come over the next few days.

I loved the snow!!

I'm baaaaack! LOVE the snow, even tho I didn't participate in the skiing, boarding, or schnapps drinking, it was amazing! I have over 400 photos to sift thru - no, I wont be posting all of them on here, but do hope to get some up by the weekend. I have 4 shoots lined up for the week (I know, CRAZY!), so between shoots & editing of those jobs, I'll get cracking on the snow photos!

Thanks for your messages, I know, its crazy that I had never seen snow before, but wow - it was awesome! So beautiful! Even with the Blizzard on Friday, it was still beautiful!

See ya.
